NEWS: Pokemon XY Anime Footage Previewed

Kinda of a weird doubt standard , which was why they made the rocket gang go back to their stupid selves after the Team Plasma VS Team Rocket episodes . Though its only occured cause the japaneese fanbase wined and compained about it, while the US audience liked the new attitude. but when they reverted back , it went a complete 180. the japaneese audience like them back the way they were but the US fanbase went on an online rampage.

Though i liked the new Team Rocket attitude from the start of Best Wishes , i could definitely understand why they change them back.

It seems that over there the more they Americanized a series , the unhappy the audience over there gets which in a way hurts their viewers ratings. definitely a double standard.

Well, that was an interesting occurrence...
It seems that there's no pleasing people on both sides of the Pacific...
Oh well, at least I'm interested in how the Rocket Trio will portray themselves in Pokemon XY.

after seeing how heavy metal beyblade tanked in japan cause they " americanized " it a bit probably scared Nintendo and Game Freak into not americanising pokemon too much otherwise it would put a very bad hit on TV viewership.

So the darker personality of Team Rocket was an American idea?
Perhaps that could be the reason why the Japanese side of the Pokemon community was averse to the change?

Yes. the darker more serious side was PUSA's doing. not their japaneese counterpart when it came to the best wishes in the hopes of bring fans back to the series. it worked , but only for the US side. while the japaneese fanbase was pissed.

Ah, I suppose that may explain my witnessing of Team Rocket spoiler[being hurled high into the skies from an old cruise ship by an explosion in the last episode of the N arc]. It has been ages since I've seen that occur.

Exactely. their putting back hijinks that will please the japaneese audience. unfortunately it makes the US audience throw fits.

and all this talk of the series becoming americanized all started since the beginning of best wishes when they used Iris for both the japaneese and english names instead of using Airisu which is her Japannese name in the japaneese manga.

and unfortunately there are some japaneese fanbase that are up in arms again for the X & Y games cause their using Serena for both the japaneese and english name for the female protagonist.
